I am the developer of JPEG 7's autotools-based build so if there is a 
problem with it, I would want to help get it fixed.  Unfortunately, I 
have not encountered a problem with building JPEG 7 under MinGW.

The GCC 4.4.0 under MinGW seems suspect since it would be a "bleeding 
edge" version with a lot of zeros.  I am using GCC 3.2.3 and 4.4.1 
here.
